My preferred solution is to have a seperate LongStringType (and LongBinaryType). If we could implement these types in a reasonably platform-nuetral way, I would love to add them in as built-in types ASAP. However, I have a funny feeling we would need to do special things for some databases. The recommended approach at present is to implement a custom type for your particular database.
Its about time I had a closer look at the portability issues here. If anyone else wants to take care of this, they are very welcome. (I have a bit of a backlog of issues like this right at the moment.) Gavin _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
